No possible way that could end badly… 🤦♂️🙄

When we booked our river cruise, only having five days between getting back from Germany and leaving for New Orleans for another cruise didn't seem so bad. I was wrong. Really wishing I had more time. #FirstWorldProblem for sure.

It's 71°F here in St. Louis, but it will drop to the 20s tonight.

It has been fun Germany (and France too), but after two weeks and one major holiday, it is time to go home.

The Hilton & Hilton Garden Inn at FRA are super convenient. Just a short walk to the terminal.
Check-in, border control, and security were nearly empty so now we're in the Lufthansa lounge and all set for our flight later. Could have slept in longer, but wanted to make the most of lounge time. 🙂

Time to get up for our flight home. Didn't sleep well, and I just checked the Packers score. Ouch...
Just as well we weren't able to watch the last two games while over here.

…and our cruise is over. Had a great time and very much enjoyed our time on the Rhine on Viva Moments.
Now waiting in the lounge for our taxi to the train station and then our train to Frankfurt. We’ll overnight there and fly home tomorrow morning. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #VivaMoments

We saw an ambulance meet a riverboat this morning in Rüdesheim on Rhein, and now we're making an unplanned stop at Oberwesel for a medical emergency onboard. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #VivaMoments

So... We're supposed to have a walking tour this morning to the Abbey of St. Hildegard. It's a 45 minute walk uphill, and the wind chill is 14°F. This seems like not the best way to spend Christmas morning.

It's cold in Mainz tonight. 31° F but the wind chill is 14° F. Not the best night for a stroll back to the boat from the cathedral. 🥶
